A Phd in Linguistics from the Jawahar Lal University of New Delhi, she is a political satirist known for posting short videos on social media as Dr. Medusa, not her real name.
She says she won’t be able to live a life without expressing her dissent. However, self preservation is equally important, therefore, to avoid trolling by two-rupee trolls she uses satire as a protective armour. The good thing is they do not understand my satire, says Dr Medusa in conversation with broadcaster, Pervaiz Alam.
Originally from Assam, she’s a Sangeet Visharad from Lucknow, and loves reciting Faiz Ahmad Faiz and Habib Jalib, the Urdu poets known for their poetry of protest.
Her specialisation as a linguist is in developing the diagnostic tools in the field of Alzheimer as language deficits are frequent in dementia.
This programme ‘London Vārta: Freedom of Speech” was recorded on 30 May, 2024, for Cine Ink podcasts, based in London.
